    Summary

    It’s as Shen Qingqiu crushes the last little fluttering Iridescent Gem Beetle that the mother decides to introduce herself by burrowing up out of the earth like a cicada the size of an elephant. He just barely has time to resign himself to an even more exhausting fight than the last one - with no rest point in between to chug stamina potions or anything! Honestly, what poor game design! - when the stranger appears.

    He charges into the scene out of nowhere like an absolute bullshit deus ex machina, all dark, flowing hair and robes, whirling around to stab at the Mother Beetle with a gleaming white sword, making it screech and rear back in pain. Seriously, Shen Qingqiu feels like he’s suddenly trapped in a video game cutscene introducing the new companion! Where’s the background music and camera close up? Who is this guy?

    -

    Shen Qingqiu happens to meet a mysterious stranger on the road, but he surely isn't important or relevant to the plot in the slightest.

    I LOVEEE
    Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe
    my favorites
    this fic is amazing
    hidden identity!
    Luo Binghe goes under the cover of a rogue cultivator by the name of Chai Dexuan with the help of an artifact to disguise himself
    His line of thinking is that if Shen Qingqiu couldn't bear to love Luo Binghe, then he would try to win his master's affections as someone new
    AW BINGHE u dumbass
    This was lovely
    their interactions are so interesting to read
    and the reveal was TEWWW GOOD
    love how binghe's pov was included
    this was written in primarily Shen Qingqiu's pov
    so intense and and satisfyingly well written !!
    I adore this

    Summary

    "Right. You aren't from around here. I don't want to go on another date with you."

    Nolan didn't have anything to say to that.

    Debbie readjusted her grip on her purse and walked away. It took a moment longer than he would admit to anyone for him to fly up into the sky and leave. Well, there were always going to be outliers.

    --

    Debbie and Nolan, the early years.

    fascinating
    au in which Debbie and Nolan's relationship summarizes to a one night stand
    mark exists, but Nolan only finds this out when 17 y.o. mark shows up asking to be trained
    I love how awkward Nolan is
    he's so under socialized w/o Debbie it's hilarious
    love the tentative family bonding too it's cute

    Summary

    "Okay," he said, voice steady now. "If that's really how you feel—then I need you to promise me something."

     

    Nolan didn't hesitate. "Of course, son. Anything."

     

    Mark's expression hardened, his eyes going cold in a way that made Nolan's breath catch.

     

    "Promise me," he said slowly, "right now... that you'll denounce Viltrum. That you'll reject them—for Earth. For us."

     

    There was a beat of silence. A single second that stretched on like eternity.

     

    Nolan's eyes widened.

     

    "...What?"
